What are apostates?
by mindfield infirst off, let me tell you that i don't view you guys, or myself, as apostates.
that word somehow carries along with it a negative sense of destruction and hate.
what i'm wondering is, what is an apostate then?

Something Sinister About JW Books?
by Englishman inwhen i was a little lad of 7 years old, my parents would drag me - literally kicking and screaming - to the kingdom hall.
i used to hate it with a vengeance.. it wasn't just the weird language that i detested, but there did seem to be something of an evil aura about the place.
i recall the chap who took my parents bible study telling them that satan was working through me to try to stop them attending meetings.. it was around this time that i started to become fearful of being alone or in the dark.

by mindfield inmore specifically, could you tell me your thoughts on verses such as:.
matthew 24:14. and could anyone give me some factual stats on the fact that jw's dont actually preach worldwide, or at least aren't recognized worldwide???.

KPRZ = Spanish
by DazedAndConfused ini don't remember which thread stated that some people from the wtbts was going to be on kprz tomorrow/today, but i went through downloading special things i needed to be able to hear and what i am hearing is spanish.
while spanish is a very beautiful language, i still cannot understand it.
if someone listens to this program and can make up a transcript (possibly tapings and transcribing) it would be great.

JW's The friendliest people in the world
by Celtic ina short while back i was sitting on the doorstep enjoying a rollie when from nowhere, this thought pattern appeared in my head on the subject of friendliness and jw's.. the way i saw things was from the perspective that here you have this guy called jesus, who despite churning things up quite a bit in the first century, was in fact not a bad guy to bump into.
in fact i reckon he was pretty cool.. to strangers he gave his time, his company and support.
he got to know people on the local level and mixed without barriers to all communities of all sorts.

by CatholicGuy inmaybe this is public knowledge already...i don't know.
back about 10 years ago my best friend worked for a christian book store.
he used to order foreign bibles for the store and one evening i was thumbing through a thai bible on the shelf and was dumbstruck.

On STUMBLING BLOCKS
by You Know injust a few loose ends and random thoughts for a select group of readers who have not been completely defrauded of your faith.. on the topic of stumbling: stumbling typically involves the mistakes of others whether real or perceived.
the reason jehovah does not consider any stumbling block as a valid reason for abandoning ones faith is because a persons faith should be in jehovah and christ in the first place.
and since god most assuredly did not let his worshipper down, what a fellow believer does or does not do should have no bearing upon our personal relationship with our heavenly father.
